Reappearance Of An Old Friend

CRACK!

A leg whipped through the air and collided with the attacker's face mid-dash. The sound echoed across the courtyard. The attacker was launched clean off their feet, flying several meters and crashing against a tree trunk before going limp.

Victor blinked.

Standing where the attacker had once been was a girl dressed in the standard Academy combat skirt and jacket. A lollipop danced between her lips as her dark purple hair, tied up in a messy ponytail glinted in the light.

"Hey handsome," she said with a playful wink. "You're a pretty difficult guy to track down."

Victor's eyes widened. "Selene?"

She popped the lollipop from her mouth and smirked. "Took you long enough."

Victor let out a dry chuckle and walked over. "I haven't seen you since the entrance exam. Was starting to even wonder if you were in the Academy."
